I hope I'm not making another faux pas putting this up for information. Apologies if it isn't appropriate but this campaign is gaining momentum and if we all join hopefully we cannot be ignored anymore.
Here's a link to a Facebook Group started by Heather Moffett to publisize the practice of hyperflexion. Watch the epona video and make your own minds up.

F.E.I are sending out standard letters now, just got mine. They are taking the complaints very seriously and are implemeting a full investigation which will be published... we'll see!
Why have I got all those Facebook followers on my posts?
Signed. I just continue to despair over how people think they can produce correct work using brute force, with no thought to the pain they are inflicting on their poor horses No wonder so many dressage horses break down before they reach their teens!
Signed. Collection is as much to do with the mind as the body. Rollkur does not address either the collection of the mind or the collection of the body, for either horse or rider.
Sadly, this is indicative of an attitude to the horse that says "what I want is more important than your mental or physical wellbeing" and as soon as that point is reached, abuse becomes habitual behaviour for that person. _________________ http://www.4hooves.co.uk http://4hoovesblog.spaces.live.com/default.aspx

well said Bruce, and it seems an easy line for humans to cross without even questioning it!
